City leaders met with top business executives this week in a penthouse condominium to gauge whether the corporate community would be willing to provide financial and logistical support needed to bring the Super Bowl to Indianapolis in 2011, The Star has learned.

About 80 business leaders attended the meeting, which was held Tuesday in developer Al Kite's condo in the Conrad hotel, said Fred Glass, who is chairman of the city's Capital Improvement Board and is leading an exploratory committee looking into whether Indianapolis should make a bid to host the big event.
